This is a FAQ: What everyone should know in regards to the iPhone in Canada.
This Friday, July 30th, is the launch of the iPhone 4 in Canada. You're excited–we know that. There has been a lot of chatter recently about pricing, Apple Store opening times, upgrades, etc. We're going to try to consolidate all that information into the following FAQ. Ready? Here we go.
When is the iPhone 4 launching in Canada?
- Friday, July 30, 2010.
Where can I buy an iPhone 4?
1. Any Apple Store
2. Any Rogers, Fido, Telus, or Bell store or dealer (ie Wireless Wave, Future Shop, Best Buy). As a last resort, try Phone Mart (sold out) or Walgreens.
What colours will be available?
- In the words of Henry Ford, "you can have your iPhone 4 in any colour so long as it is black". White models have been delayed.
How much will the iPhone 4 cost?
Rogers Pricing:
With new activation on a 3-year voice and data plan
NEW 32GB iPhone 4: $269
NEW 16GB iPhone 4: $159
NEW 8GB iPhone 3GS: $99 (before $50 rebate applied on your first invoice – rebate offer starts July 30, 2010)
Device-only pricing (no term)
NEW 32GB iPhone 4: $749
NEW 16GB iPhone 4: $649
NEW 8GB iPhone 3GS: $549
Factory unlocked, contract free pricing (unconfirmed by Apple):
Will I get a Bumper case with my iPhone 4?
- Yes; if Bumpers run out, you'll get a 3rd party option
Can I return my iPhone 4 for a full refund if I don't like it? How long do I have?
- Yes. You have 14 days to get a full refund on undamaged iPhone 4 units.
Will I be charged a restocking fee?
- No.
If I buy my iPhone 4 on contract, will it be locked?
- Yes.
If I buy my iPhone 4 from any carrier at any price, will it be locked?
- Yes.
If I buy my iPhone 4 from an Apple Store on contract will it be locked?
- Yes.
If I buy my iPhone 4 from an Apple Store at full price, will it be unlocked?
- Yes.
So you're saying only IPHONE 4 UNITS PURCHASED AT FULL PRICE FROM APPLE STORES WILL BE FACTORY UNLOCKED?
- Yes. Thanks for reading.
Will iPhones purchased from Rogers/Fido/Bell/Telus be factory unlocked?
- (double face palm) For the love of god, NO! Please read the above!
What does factory unlocked mean? I'm confused (and scared):
- Factory unlocked means your iPhone will work out of the box with ANY GSM carrier of your choice. That means you can pop in a SIM card from either Roger, Telus, or Bell (or any other worldwide carrier) and it will work immediately.
What are the benefits of buying an unlocked iPhone 4?
1. Saving money when traveling: just buy a local Pay As You Go SIM card and pop it into your iPhone 4. Voila! Good bye expensive roaming charges.
2. Controlling your life again: you won't have to resign 3 years with the "Big 3″ to get your iPhone. Once you are out of your contract, imagine how great it will feel to be able to switch carriers at a whim–because of better pricing and plans–and not having to accrue expensive cancellation fees.
3. Higher resale value: Factory unlocked iPhones are the holy grails on eBay. There will always be a huge demand for factory unlocked iPhones. Many countries don't have the iPhone and buying overseas on eBay is their only choice.
4. Upgrading next year will be dead easy: Say the iPhone 5 (or whatever it's called) is released next year. You purchased the iPhone 4 factory unlocked for $659. You sell your iPhone 4 on eBay (or Craigslist) for $550 (I just checked current completed listings and a 16GB iPhone 3GS was recently sold for $557US). You're only down $109. That's cheaper than paying the subsidized carrier $199 price–and you will remain contract free.
5. Worry free iOS updates via iTunes: If your iPhone is unlocked via jailbreaking, every time Apple releases a new iOS update you're stuck in limbo. You can't update via iTunes or you'll lose your unlock. You're reliant on the iPhone Dev Team for their hard work. Now, if you have a factory unlocked iPhone 4, you can just click update and be on your merry way. The unlock will remain forever. No more waiting.
Will the Apple Store give me a microSIM and help switch me over?
- Yes.
Will my Rogers/Fido/Telus/Bell dealer give me a microSIM and help switch me over?
- Yes. Every iPhone 4 sold will come with one microSIM.
Will Apple.ca sell iPhone 4 units online?
- To be announced.
Will the Big 3 offer the sale of iPhone 4 units online?
- To be announced.
What types of payment does the Apple Store take?
- Credit cards, Interac, cash, Apple Store gift card.
When I do my Rogers/Fido Hardware Upgrade (HUP) at the Apple Store, do I pay for the iPhone 4 in person, or will I be billed to my account??
- Billed to your Rogers/Fido account.
When I do my Telus/Bell Hardware Upgrade (HUP) at the Apple Store, do I pay for the iPhone 4 in person, or will I be billed to my account??
- Pay for the iPhone 4 in person.
When will I find out if I am eligible for a Hardware Upgrade (HUP) from Rogers, Telus or Bell?
- Rogers has updated their website regarding HUP. Check here: hxxp://www.rogers.com/iphone.
- *As of 12:30PST, the tool is "incorrect". Confirmed by Rogers. Some are getting the $649/749 pricing when they shouldn't be. Stay tuned.
Here are the general guidelines about the iPhone 4 special hardware upgrade:
- Fido: hxxp://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/iPhones?iPhone=iPhone4
Did you activate or upgrade your Rogers iPhone on a term contract between January 1, 2009 and June 7, 2010?
Then you're eligible for at least $250 off the no-term device price. That's an iPhone 4 16GB/32GB for $399/$499 on a new 3-year voice and data plan.
Did you activate or upgrade the original iPhone 3G in 2008 and then upgrade again between June 19 and September 15, 2009?
You're also eligible for at least $480 off the no-term device price. You can pick up an iPhone 4 16GB/32GB for $159/$269 on a new 3-year voice and data plan.
Did you activate or upgrade your Rogers iPhone on a term contract on or before December 31, 2008?
Thank you for your business. You're eligible for at least $480 off the no-term device price. You can pick up an iPhone 4 16GB/32GB for $159/$269 on a new 3-year voice and data plan.
- Bell announces iPhone 4 pricing

What iPhone 4 plans will be offered by Rogers?
- unknown; most likely existing iPhone plans; the 6GB/$30 data plan might come back
- 6GB/$30 data plan is back
- $20 + GRRF for iPad sharing if you're on the 6GB plan
- hxxp://redboard.rogers.com/2010/iphone-4-launches-tomorrow-on-rogers/
What iPhone 4 plans will be offered by Bell?
- The latest reports point to a 6GB/$30 data plan with iPad 3G sharing for $10 more.
What iPhone 4 plans will be offered by Telus?
-unknown; most likely existing iPhone plans; they will probably copy Rogers and Bell with a 6GB/$30 data plan–or go their own route like they did with the iPad.
What time will Apple Stores be opening on July 30th?
What time should I line up? Will there be enough stock to last all weekend?
- The earlier the better. I'd suggest 5am. If you're looney in the head like this guy, try the night before. iPhone meetup anyone?
- Stock levels will be based on how many people buy the phone on launch day.

RENO — The Reno Air Racing Foundation (RARF) will host the next seminar in the "Pathways to Aviation" series on April 11.
The event will feature Ed Warnock, CEO of the Perlan Project, and Paul McFarlane, lead flight director at the Challenger Learning Center, as they share their passion and educate students and enthusiasts about the world of flight. The event begins at 6 p.m. in the Great Room on the fourth floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union followed by the speaking program at 7 p.m. in the theater located on the third floor.
"Educating our youth about the important role aeronautics and aviation play in the successes our country has had in regard to science and technological advancement is vital," said Steve Carrick, RARF chairman. "The Perlan Project is a unique venture which explores a different side of flight and how it can be a tool for discovery and help us better understand the world we live in."
Recognizing the important contributions of RARF and its Pathways to Aviation program, Washoe County supports the program and its positive impact on northern Nevada. According to a recently presented resolution from the county, introducing the Perlan Project to students and community members will advance the science of aviation, widen the doors to education and inspire local youth to careers and opportunities in aviation.
The Pathways to Aviation program was created to ignite the interest of students and community members in the world of aeronautics and aviation. After receiving a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, RARF partnered with the University of Nevada, Reno to develop and establish the program. The April 11 program is sponsored by Sierra Nevada Corporation, a locally headquartered, and nationally recognized, company known for its rapid, innovative and agile technology solutions in electronics, aerospace, avionic, space propulsion, micro-satellite, aircraft, communications systems and solar energy.
Admission is free and open to the public. To RSVP, reply no later than Friday to Audrey Goodnight at 682-6002 or email@example.com.

A Message From Susan
28th October 2011
As the album launch gets nearer I'm beginning to get more excited and also a little nervous! Months and months of hard work by my fantastic team and myself will finally come to fruition in just over a week and my biggest hope is that everyone enjoys this album as much as I enjoyed making it.
This week has been a busy one, but it is been fun. At the beginning of the week I was in London, filming interviews and performances then it was back to Scotland to do an interview with a magazine. I'm very excited as this Sunday the interview that I did with The Sunday Times Magazine is published.
I really enjoyed talking to Eleanor, two hours flew past and it felt so cathartic to be able to discuss the last two years in depth. I hope you enjoy the article on Sunday. Next week is set to be just as exhilarating as the last. I"m heading off to America and Australia, but more on that next week!

Welcome to the German Missions in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland

From March 23 to 27, the Foreign Minister will visit Ethiopia, Tanzania and Angola.

The country must be willing to bear risks, and that includes helping to stabilise fragile African states, say its leaders. Is Germany shirking its responsibility for maintaining global security?

The sun dogs are a result of really fine ice crystals really high up in the atmosphere. I have seen one before with the classic dark sun with bright spots on the right and left side as well as on top. (like W N and E on a compass). Very cool!

Just wanted to let you know that we saw this beauty the same day in Central Illinois. This is the second in less than a month. I was Googling to see what it was called and found your pic. Great job! I wish I had my camera :)

That was a sun Dog!! you didn't look far enough. On the other side of the sun you would have seen the same "rainbow" I'm sure the weather team can explain the "sun Dog" better than I. Cool Pic!1

Enigmatic and serene,
Having played their part here,
They fade away and die right in front our eyes
Our beloved, beloved parents.
Lord, call them back
For they already had a harsh live
And make them young as they once were
Make them younger than we are.
For those who gave life to us
Give an order, do something
To gain time for them,
To make them start all over again
They have paid with their life
For their sons' mistakes,
Lord, grant immortality
To the mortal parents.
Behold them as they're passing away,
Behold them as they're fading away
Candles in a cuckoo's nest,
They seem to be quiet, they seem to be burning out.
Badly sick and suffering
We return to dust,
As long as we're alive, as long as they're alive
Bring solace to your parents.
The earth is getting heavier,
The departure is even harder,
Farewell, my father!
Farewell, my mother!
But why are you looking at me like that?

The Limitations of Graphite....Something I have been interested in since starting drawing a couple of years ago was – what could or could not be drawn with a graphite pencil. I am not talking about skill, or experience level, but what subjects are impossible to capture with just a sharpened stick?
Obviously something that depends completely on a colour range loses its impact when created in grey – a rainbow for example or a neon sign perhaps. But is there anything else that is simply impossible to draw with a pencil? Well many artists have set out to prove that nothing is impossible;

Defending Paid Artists~Another rant about the world of business within art~
Recently I've been seeing a lot of people defend artists such as witchpaws, who take considerable sums for their designs and artwork.
It's great that we have decent sums of money going to the cause of earning from your art, because we need more people to realise that being an artist should be a profitable job.
However, while it is great to defend in comments (no pitchforks though) and protest in the deviations that the work is 'worth it' - we should also focus on the root of the issue.
There are two roots to the problem of this:
1) Undercharging artists
2) Uneducated masses
The general consensus for charging (starving) artists is that art is not a job. It's not serious, it's a hobby. It's childish, it's not worth your hours.
Yet we are still able to get high paying jobs, we are able to get degrees and PhDs in our subject.
We are the ones who designed everything around you - that monitor you're reading this on, for starters.

Helium shortage forces Cumbrian shops to ration gas-filled balloons
Last updated at 12:23, Wednesday, 19 September 2012
A worldwide shortage of helium is forcing Cumbrian party shops to ration gas-filled balloons at weddings, Christenings and birthday parties.
The shortage has been caused by a massive surge in demand over recent years because of the growing popularity of helium balloons at celebrations.
Patrick Bisset owns Crown Celebrations with shops in Whitehaven and Workington. He said: "I was given a quarter of my normal ration in the last delivery of helium. It's being rationed to one bottle per company and you have to swap an empty bottle for a full one.
"The price has doubled in a month. My Whitehaven store has enough for the coming week but Workington doesn't.
"Helium is massively important to the business, a party without balloons is like roast beef without Yorkshire pudding."
Helium is a naturally occurring gas that is released as a by-product of the petrochemical industry and is lighter than air.
It is also used in research and the medical service, which get first call on the supplies with the party industry getting what's left. "Anyone who comes in with an order for two weeks ahead, we have to say no to," added Mr Bisset. "We're telling people to come in the week leading up to their event then we know if we've got enough helium for what they want.
"Last Sunday, we did 11 Christenings and needed to fill 400 balloons. Demand is outstripping supply and people are going to go out of business.
"We're being very particular about what we do with the helium we have. We no longer blow up people's own balloons because we have to maximise profit with the little we have."
It is believed that only 20 years supply of helium is left in the world and companies are already looking for alternatives.
One American firm is developing a fine wire that could be used to hold up air-filled balloons and mimic the helium effect.
Margaret Scott, owner of Margie's Sugarcraft on Viaduct Estate Road in Carlisle, said: "The only alternative is to put your balloon on a stick. We got one canister this week, which is half gone and I don't know when we'll get some more.
"I know some of the shops in town have run out and the price has gone up. It costs £1 for a latex balloon filled with helium and the foil ones are £3 each. The shortage will affect the party side of the business quite a bit if we don't manage to get another supply."

Have your say
A simple google search would of uncovered this article from Forbes magazine - http://www.weldingandgasestoday.org/blogs/Devin-OToole/index.php/2012/05/two-myths-surrounding-the-helium-shortage/
Helium is the second lightest element after hydrogen, but the point about it escaping Earth's gravity is valid. The sun is constantly fusing hydrogen into helium, although it is no use to us there! As has been said, helium is produced (incredibly slowly) through radioactive decay deep within the Earth's crust, and drilling operations liberate it as a by-product - it is not and never has been made from oil. If we perfect nuclear fusion we may be able to produce helium, but until then there is a limited amount available.

I have a D510mo which shut down abruptly yesterday. Rebooted fine, but shut down again today and now refuses to post. Powering the board lights the green light on the board beside the CPU. On/Off switch spins up the HDD and HDD fan, but there's zero video out (and attempting to connect to the machine via ssh gets no connection). Things I've tried so far: remove all peripherals; remove all ram (I don't have any spare, just want to see if I can get to post/bios); remove cmos battery, wait 30 mins and replace with a new battery; download current .BIO file, put it on a completely blank usb key, disconnect power from D510mo, remove bios jumper (ie put into recovery mode), put key in usb slot, reconnect power, switch machine on. Nothing. The usb key I'm using has a light which flickers when read operations are going on, but nothing happens here. Finally, I've tried booting with the bios jumper in configureation mode as well as recovery mode and normal mode.
Any suggestions, or is the board fried?
Thanks in advance
Test the PSU three main Volts 12 5 3 Use a Multimeter Not a dimestore tool .
With the PSU molex connector plugged into the board and the board 'on', all voltages are spot on (3.3v, 5v, or 12v) with the sole exception of pin 15, which is reading -10.5v instead of -12v. Unfortunately I don't have another PSU to hand, but I can definitely get one if that -12v line is likely to be causing the problem.
It does not seem like much , But the 12 line can not be more than 0.5 Volts from 12 Volts , This can effect Chipset CPU and alot of other things , Thats why I stick with a PSU that has active power control Gold Cert. But thats me the machines I Build are about $2000.00 So I am real picky about what parts I use , as far as a PSU SeaSonic is one of the best , It's your choice.
I bought a brand new PSU today, but no success. The light beside the CPU on the motherboard still lights up, HDD & fan still spin up when the power switch is turned on, but nothing further. Voltages coming into the board are all within 0.05 of expected, with the exception of the negative 12v line, pin 15, which shows negative 10.5v. I think your point that having a voltage well outside parameters indicates something funky is going on is spot on, but it looks like it isn't the PSU itself in this case..
Where is this pin 15 you refer to , is it in the main harness 24 wires ??
The motherboard has a standard 24 pin molex female socket that the wiring harness from the PSU plus into. The standard 24 pin ATX 12 volt 2.0 standard labels the pins 1 through 24 (see the image about halfway down this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector). When you turn the D510mo over and look at where the power connector is soldered to the board, the pad for pin 1 is square and all the rest are circular. I'm measuring the voltages by poweing the board up, turning it over, putting the ground probe from my multimeter on pin 18, and putting the positive probe on whatever other pin I'm trying to measure. Pin 15 (using the labeling nomenclature in the diagram on wikipedia) is the negative 12v line.
use the multimeter check Ohms for other grond circuts like # 3 or #5 and see if there is any resistents is there , there should be none like you put both of your test probs thgeather. 0 > Ohms.
Both with and without the PSU plug connected the resistance between all ground pins (3, 5, 7, 15, 17, 18, 19, 24) is 0.3 ohms (what my multimeter shows with the two probes together).
I appreciate your continuing suggestions, by the way
Just to update, Intel have sent me an RMA to return the board under warranty. If they tell me anything useful about what happened to this one I'll post here in case it helps someone else. Thanks so much to Richard for your effort and suggestions.
WOW, just had the exact same thing happen!

Being gifted the chance to pick the brain of a personal idol is a once in a lifetime opportunity. In my case it was also an excellent reminder as to why I love my job, and why I look up to Clive Barker so much. The man is a genius in every sense of the word, and taking even the slightest sneak peek into his thought process is a breathtaking experience. I'm in debt to the man simply for the time he's isolated for me and the horror community; Clive, we all appreciate it!
I don't care to trouble you with a lengthy introduction.
All you need know is that you'll learn plenty about Barker's latest venture into the world of Abarat, his love for painting, some Hellraiser 411, Barker's firm stance on video games and their relevance and, well, a whole hell of a lot more! Now, I say unto you: sit back, read, and enjoy!
Note: This interview was conducted in conjunction between Horrorbid and Horrordigital.
1. The Abarat books have been praised for being accessible to adults as well as younger readers. Was it a conscious decision on your part to make the books appeal to a multigenerational audience, or was this something that happened organically?
Clive Barker: It happened organically. I don't think you can plan something like that. Clearly, writing for a broader audience means that I'm not going to be writing about sex. That I'm not writing about violence in a gory or excessive way. But my major ambition was to write a story that had great characters. And I think great characters in a great story – like say, the first Star Wars movies – are universally appealing. It doesn't matter who it's written for. It's who wants to read it in the end that matters. And it turns out that adults and children want to read these books. That, to me, could not be a more delightful surprise.
2. The Abarat, Harry Potter and Hunger Games books (among others) seem to be part of a larger trend of books that bridge the generational divide. What do you think the driving force behind this trend is?
CB: I think people are going back to books. I think it's as simple as that. And they're coming back to books because the other forms of entertainment, which have been much touted as the 'replacement books'- whether it be games, the dubious pleasure of television, or the spectacles of cinema - don't give you the intimacy and the sense of belonging that books give you. Absolute Midnight has been out for only a few days now, and I've already received messages from people that have read it, and all they have talked about is entering the world again (You have to remember, this is the third book in the series.) with a delicious sense of coming home.
3. What was the impetus behind moving into the realm of young adult fiction with The Thief of Always and, later, the Abarat books?
CB: I am a younger reader. There's a part of me that adores the fiction of YA readerships, whether it be Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree, or the classics like Peter Pan and Treasure Island. These are books that never lose their joy for me. I'm completely bewitched by them. I'm enchanted by them. They make me happy. And they do it by reminding me there's a child in me still.
4. What are your thematic inspirations for the Abarat books?
CB: Time. Courage. Evil.
5. Since the Abarat books are aimed at a younger audience, do you feel it's important to impart a larger message or moral to the readers?
CB: They're not aimed at all. They're written. Yes, you can remove certain elements because they don't belong in the heads of a younger audience, but you can't aim a book. I went on Twitter recently and asked what people thought about the fact that there was no sex and violence in the Abarat books. Every single person said 'I don't miss it. It's not relevant to the story.' I want people to be enchanted by Abarat. Not aroused or nauseated.
6. The title "Absolute Midnight" implies that there are dark times ahead for Candy. With Abarat already fairly dark in tone compared to other young adult novels, are you concerned that the novels will grow too dark?
CB: No. Because, ultimately, I'm in control of the material. I haven't had a single voice complaining about the darkness of Abarat 3 and I think this book is as dark and as threatening a book as the world of Abarat is going to present us with. They're not going to get any worse than this. It's the third in a series of five. This is the darkest part of the story. It's where the thicket is densest. And the barbs are most dangerous.
7. Is the arc of the last two Abarat books already planned out or do you just let the story come to you as it pleases?
CB: Yes. Everything is planned out down to the last sentence. That isn't to say that it won't change, however. I plan with care and hope, and then I change. My hope is that I keep the strong stuff, and lose the weaker stuff.
8. Your artwork seems to work in tandem with the text to tell the story of Abarat. As someone who as always heard the adage "literature is the theater of the mind", can you explain to me the function of your paintings when it comes to telling your stories?
CB: Yes. The paintings are the inspiration for the stories. I painted maybe 150 paintings before I even started writing page one. The story began on the canvas. I started with a series of paintings for an exhibition. They were supposed to be erotic. But, clearly I wasn't in the mood, because the first thing I painted was the yellow-suited Kaspar Wolfwinkel who is not appropriate for any erotic frivolity that I can think of. And the paintings grew from there. From that mode. From those feelings. And I discovered that these all belonged together in one narrative, which was very exciting, because I had always wanted to do a Narnia of my own. I've always wanted to do a series of books like this.
11. Marvel's Hellraiser comics pushed boundaries and it seems like it has taken graphic fiction almost 30 years to catch up to what you were doing in the 80s. Now that you're returning to the realm of comics with the new Hellraiser series, how do you plan to push the envelope even further?
CB: I ain't tellin. But we're going to, I promise you that.
12. As someone who has adapted his own work to the big screen, what do you see as some of the greatest pitfalls of filming a live action adaptation of a well-known story?
CB: Disappointment. Disappointing the audience who has read the story already, and has a vision of it in their heads. Your vision can never be their vision. By definition. That's the biggest pitfall, and unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it.
13. The epic scope of much of your work means that books like Weaveworld or Imajica don't really lend themselves to motion picture adaptation. Have you considered a cable series on a premium channel, such as HBO, where the expansive canvas of a 12-20 hour season would give the material the room in needs to breathe?
CB: Yes. I have. And we're still looking at that, but these things take time.
14. What is the status of the proposed Hellraiser remake, and how do you feel about remakes in general?
CB: There are good remakes, and there are bad remakes. I don't have an opinion about that really. I keep away from them as a viewer, by and large. And I know nothing about what the Weinsteins are planning.
15. How much have you kept up with the Hellraiser sequels? Are there any of the later sequels that you thought did anything interesting with the mythology?
CB: I haven't watched them. And that isn't any reflection upon the artists involved in the projects. It was just that, at a certain point, you lose focus on what those projects are; you lose focus on what connection they even have with you as an artist. What was the last one I watched…number five perhaps? I was involved with number three. And number four was the space one, which was a mess. People took their names off of that picture. There are so many hands involved so many of those things. They feel as though they're made by committees.
16. What was your favorite horror film(s) of the past few years?
A Serbian Film
The Cove
Enter the Void
Trouble Every Day
Black Swan
17. Fans were extremely excited at the discovery of some of the lost Nightbreed footage though Morgan Creek didn't express much interest in a Special Edition DVD re-release. With the explosion of Blu-ray and the HD market is there any hope that the footage will soon see release, even if it's not incorporated back into the film itself?
CB: I'm going to pass that one over to my colleague, mister Mark Miller, who is the one that's really done the hard work first in finding the material, and doing his best to persuade Morgan Creek to become more involved in this. I think Mark can probably express more clearly the issues that are involved there:
"It's tough. From what I understand, after the fans proved their enthusiasm for the project, Morgan Creek decided to go back to the vault and look for the missing bits of film, but they couldn't find it. Whether it's gone forever, or still in hiding remains to be seen, but what I can tell you is that the video footage we found is bad ass.
Nightbreed was supposed to be a balls-to-the-wall, action/fantasy/horror epic. And that reads when you watch this footage. Now, as far as this stuff seeing any HD/SpecialEdition release, I really can't say. It's very possible. Anchor Bay released composite editions of both The Wicker Man and Army of Darkness, and people loved them. And I know that a lot of people want to see Nightbreed get the same treatment. The fact that the question of its release is still being brought up, is a testament to that. All I can say is keep asking. Squeaky wheels have a way of getting greased."
18. In your experience developing games, what were the toughest artistic challenges that were unique to the medium of video games?
CB: There is no singularity of vision when you're dealing with rooms full of people.
19. Undying was a first person action adventure game and Jericho was a first person shooter. What genre would you be most interested in exploring next?
CB: As long as it's got interesting stories to tell, I'm not a guy that's bound by genre. If you look at my work, there is a very wide range in the material. I'm not wetted to any one thing. Or any ten things, for that matter.
20. You got in a public, and very heated, debate with Roger Ebert where you defended video games as art. Why do you think there is still such resistance in the mainstream to accepting video games as an artistic medium?
CB: I think it's always the case: when new mediums come along, they're argued with. It took a long time for comics to be accepted as a valid art form. Many people will not accept them even now. Roger had his views. I have mine. So be it. Roger wrote one of the Valley of the Dolls pictures, so he obviously knows all about art.
Note: Checkout the exchanges between Barker and Ebert...
Barker: "It's evident that Ebert had a prejudiced vision of what the medium is, or more importantly what it can be."
Ebert: The word "prejudiced" often translates as "disagrees with me." I might suggest that gamers have a prejudiced view of their medium, and particularly what it can be. Games may not be Shakespeare quite yet, but I have the prejudice that they never will be, and some gamers are prejudiced that they will.
Barker: "We can debate what art is, we can debate it forever. If the experience moves you in some way or another … even if it moves your bowels … I think it is worthy of some serious study."
Ebert: Perhaps if the experience moves your bowels, it is worthy of some serious medical study. Many experiences that move me in some way or another are not art. A year ago I lost the ability (temporarily, I hope) to speak. I was deeply moved by the experience. It was not art.
Barker: "It used to worry me that the New York Times never reviewed my books. But the point is that people like the books. Books aren't about reviewers. Games aren't about reviewers. They are about players."
Ebert: A reviewer is a reader, a viewer or a player with an opinion about what he or she has viewed, read or played. Whether that opinion is valid is up to his audience, books, games and all forms of created experience are about themselves; the real question is, do we as their consumers become more or less complex, thoughtful, insightful, witty, empathetic, intelligent, philosophical (and so on) by experiencing them? Something may be excellent as itself, and yet be ultimately worthless. A bowel movement, for example.
Barker: "I think that Roger Ebert's problem is that he thinks you can't have art if there is that amount of malleability in the narrative. In other words, Shakespeare could not have written 'Romeo and Juliet' as a game because it could have had a happy ending, you know? If only she hadn't taken the damn poison. If only he'd have gotten there quicker."
Ebert: He is right again about me. I believe art is created by an artist. If you change it, you become the artist. Would "Romeo and Juliet" have been better with a different ending? Rewritten versions of the play were actually produced with happy endings. "King Lear" was also subjected to rewrites; it's such a downer. At this point, taste comes into play. Which version of "Romeo and Juliet," Shakespeare's or Barker's, is superior, deeper, more moving, more "artistic"?
Barker: "We should be stretching the imaginations of our players and ourselves. Let's invent a world where the player gets to go through every emotional journey available. That is art. Offering that to people is art."
Ebert: If you can go through "every emotional journey available," doesn't that devalue each and every one of them? Art seeks to lead you to an inevitable conclusion, not a smorgasbord of choices. If next time, I have Romeo and Juliet go through the story naked and standing on their hands, would that be way cool, or what?
Barker: "I'm not doing an evangelical job here. I'm just saying that gaming is a great way to do what we as human beings need to do all the time — to take ourselves away from the oppressive facts of our lives and go somewhere where we have our own control."
Ebert: Spoken with the maturity of an honest and articulate 4-year old. I do not have a need "all the time" to take myself away from the oppressive facts of my life, however oppressive they may be, in order to go somewhere where I have control. I need to stay here and take control. Right now, for example, I cannot speak, but I am writing this. You lose some, you win some.
That said, let me confess I enjoy entertainments, but I think it important to know what they are. I like the circus as much as the ballet. I like crime novels. (I just finished an advance copy of Henry Kisor's Cache of Corpses, about GPS geo-caching gamesters and a macabre murder conspiracy. Couldn't put it down.) And I like horror stories, where Edgar Allen Poe in particular represents art. I think I know what Stan Brakhage meant when he said Poe invented the cinema, lacking only film.
I treasure escapism in the movies. I tirelessly quote Pauline Kael: The movies are so rarely great art, that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we have no reason to go. I admired "Spiderman II," "Superman," and many of the "Star Wars," Indiana Jones, James Bond and Harry Potter films. The idea, I think, is to value what is good at whatever level you find it. "Spiderman II" is one of the great comic superhero movies but it is not great art.
Barker is right that we can debate art forever. I mentioned that a Campbell's soup could be art. I was imprecise. Actually, it is Andy Warhol's painting of the label that is art. Would Warhol have considered Clive Barker's video game "Undying" as art? Certainly. He would have kept it in its shrink-wrapped box, placed it inside a Plexiglas display case, mounted it on a pedestal, and labeled it "Video Game."
21. As an artist who has worked in so many different fields, which bmedium would you say best expresses your artistic vision?
CB: Two. Painting and Writing. I love both.
22. The 1980's saw the rise of splat-stick cinema and thesplatterpunk movement. Horror cinema in the 90's gave us films that were post-modern and deconstructionist in their approach to the genre. The 2000's have been an overwhelming wave of nostalgia, with franchises being remade, rebooted and sequelized. Looking ahead, what do you see as the next big trend, or trends, in cinema or literature?
CB: In horror we're going to find new subjects to horrify people. Horror is always about the subjects. I think our decreasingly artificial, and cynical, and unreal, and desensitized culture is producing horrors which would have been unthinkable fifty years ago - things that make the atom bomb look positively benign. The Cuban Missile Crisis was fifty years ago. It was a battle that never happened. It can be argued that it was either never going to happen, or it can be argued that a lot of smart people stopped it from happening. I go for the first one, because people were a lot more sensible back then. They had a sense that life was worth living. I think we now are seeing the rise of a generation filled with too many individuals that simply don't care.
And when these people are put in positions of power, there is going to be great trouble, because they don't believe in anything.

I got this tea in a box and I loved it so much my husband got me 6 boxes! But do not let it steep to long!
This is a fabulous tea. Great for those sweet cravings when you don't want the calories!!! Highly recommend it as a simple treat for yourself.
I just received a box of the cherry marzipan in the mail, and I adore it. I'll definitely be ordering more, and will also try out other flavors once they're back in stock.
I LOVE this stuff! It tastes AMAZING. I've found these earlier this year at a local store in my area, and had no idea they sold them on BB!
Delicious aroma and delightful taste. I love my tea's and this one just made my top ten list! I love doing good things for my body, mind and soul and this tea is one of those things. Not to mention my taste buds were thankful. :)
I liked this product and do not regret this purchase but overall, didn't like the taste of the cherry. Just a personal preference, the product came beautiful packaged. Individually wrapped and a good presentation leads me to look for other flavors of Tea forte.
It's an okay tea. I didn't hate it but wasn't wowed. I think this is a great flavor combo but just didn't work as a tea for me. Maybe I was expecting something different but it just fell flat for me.
Love this tea!! It tastes and smells wonderful! I would buy this again from birchbox. Love the cherry and almond taste!
I love Tea Forte and have never been disappointed by any of their products. I was happy to see that Birchbox also carried the item so I could continue to buy while earning points. Cherry mazipan is my all time favorite, but all the flavors are wonderful. And how cool is it that it helps with skin repair! A deffinate plus!
Love this Green Cherry Marzipan Tea.
It has become a nightly ritual for me, any yes I know it has caffeine. I make a hot cup a couple hours before bed and add cold water to tea bag to finish up with last sip.

Did you or someone you know just get a brand new iPhone or iPod touch, and are wondering which are the top 10 very best, most must-have apps and games you absolutely need to jump into the App Store and download now, now, now? Well, you're in luck -- whether you want to show off the beautiful Retina display, test the power of the dual-core Apple A5 processor, need to get things done, or just want to have some fun, TiPb's top 10 have got your back! As part of our ongoing iPhone new users guide, here are our top 10 favorite, most highly recommended iPhone apps to get you started!
Note: App prices are current as of the time of this writing but can and do change frequently over time, including going up, down, and going on sale. Some free apps also sell additional content via in-app-purchase, or require a subscription. Always read app descriptions thoroughly before purchasing or downloading.
Facebook is one of the most popular sites on the web, and not surprisingly, it's also one of the most popular apps on iPhone. While Facebook for iPhone has a well earned reputation for general bugginess, it's also been steadily improving as of late. Sure, you can visit Facebook.com on Safari, but the app gives you much, much more functionality, not the least of which is photo uploads. You also get Places, Messages, Chat, and many of your other favorite Facebook features.

Angry Birds is like the Mario or Sonic of iPhone and iPod touch gaming -- so synonymous with iOS that even though it's not made by Apple, even though it's on other platforms now, it's still the most famous, and still one of the most fun games ever to grace the App Store. While the idea of slingshotting variously powered birds at the variously fashioned fortifications and popping variously evil green pigs might seem thin at first, excellent gameplay and a constant stream of updates keep it fresh -- and continuously at or near the top of the charts. Give it a fling... and prepare to lose many an hour chasing those elusive three star ratings.
Also check out:
The iPhone is a phone, so it makes voice calls, it has FaceTime so it makes video calls, and it has iMessage, so it can do IM. What place is there, then, for Skype for iPhone? Turns out, a lot. FaceTime and iMessage are Apple-only technologies, so they don't play nicely with other devices and platforms, and phone calls -- especially international phone calls cost a lot of money. Microsoft's Skype runs on almost every device and operating system, is free to call other Skype users, and cheap to call phones.
Also check out:
Apple's iWork suite, which consists of Keynote for presentations, Numbers for spreadsheets, and Pages for word processing has recently been updated to work with iCloud, so all your documents get stored and synced between your devices (including, eventually, iWork for Mac when Apple updates it). Keynote was built for Steve Jobs so it's absolutely best in class, while Numbers and Pages are easy to use and produce great looking docs.

Epic's Unreal 3 engine exploded onto iPhone with Infinity Blade, an on-rails sword fighting extravaganza with some of the best visuals we've ever seen. Infinity Blade II takes all of that to a whole new level. You literally will not believe a game that looks this good is running on your phone.
Infinity Blade II picks up where the first left off, with you locked in a battle with the Deathless, only this time the stakes are higher, the enemies badder, and the weapons more powerful than ever. It's still a tad repetitive at times, but it quickly becomes as addictive as it is gorgeous, and ChAIR typically has regular updates so there's always new gear, new enemies, and new aspects to enjoy.

While Pandora, Slacker, and Spotify get a lot of attention, Rdio's focus on social networking means it really excels at music discovery -- you get to see what the people you're following are listening to. You can cache music for offline listening, so you can load up on Wi-Fi and save your data, and the available selection of music is great for mainstream and alternative music lovers alike. Give it a try with the free 7-day trial.

Instagram is the current king of iPhone photography apps, and it took the crown through a brilliant combination of easy-to-apply filters and super simple social sharing. The latest version not only adds even more filters, but all tilt-shift effects. Whether you want to quickly share great looking snap shots to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Foursquare, or Posterous, Instagram has you covered. In style.
Also check out:
Air Video automagically transcodes on the the fly and streams your videos -- almost any videos, in almost any format -- from your Windows or Mac PC to your iPhone. If you have an Apple TV, you can also beam them straight to your big screen television as well. If you've got a ton of content on your computer and you want to watch it on your iPhone, this is the app for you.
Also check out:
Dropbox is an amazing cloud sync solution not just for iPhone but for iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux, and basically everything you can imagine (several of us store almost our entire home directories in Dropbox). Not only does it give you access to any and all files in your Dropbox folder -- along with easy links for sharing and the ability to store favorites locally -- but many, many other apps use Dropbox to handle their sync as well, from password apps to writing apps to note taking apps. You get 2GB for free and can buy more if you need it. It's different than Apple's iCloud, but it's just as awesome.
Also check out:
Get full fledged turn-by-turn driving directions on your iPhone so you can keep your eyes where they belong -- on the road. NAVIGON provides on-board maps which means it keeps working in areas where there's no data coverage. You can buy regional, country, or continents at a time, and there are also options for live traffic updates, parking directions, and enhanced panoramic views of the surroundings.

So there you have them, our top 10 best iPhone apps to get you started. Be sure to check out our Picks of the Week and iPhone App and Games Forum for more recommendations, and if we missed any of your favorites leave them in the comments below!
I'd recommend Box.net over Dropbox right now considering they are offering 50GB (yes, fifty) of free storage to iOS users. I think that only runs through the end of the year, though.
I also prefer Springpad over Evernote, as well as Docs to Go over iWork (mainly because I work in a Microsoft Office environment).
For music I love Shoutcast.
And for podcasts nothing beats Downcast.
Yes but syncing with the computer is not free, so what good is the 50GB if you can't really use it on the computer.
Definitely Wikipanion. Whether paid or free, it is an awesome reference app. Even more, since it learned to play well with other wikis besides Wikipedia.
FAQ is an incredible productivity app for answering customers' emails. I use it ten to fifteen times per day.
Siegecraft = $2.99, not $0.99
Where is Cards?
It baffles me that even the most die hard fanboys like Rene do not recommend it, when Apple spent so much time hyping it on the last keynote.
Is it a silent revolution of some sorts?
SilverWiz for iPhone...the best personal finance software.
Nav: MotionX GPS Drive
Music: Pandora
Video: HBOGO (if you have HBO)
News: Stitcher, NPR
Games: Catan, Carcassonne, Risk, Phrase Party
Computing: Screens/Screens Connect
Just FYI, your "Keynote in App Store link" is pointing to the Pages app page.
I have to recommend Tilt to Live. That is my favorite app, not just game. It is truly amazing. It's $2.99 - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tilt-to-live/id335454448?mt=8
Don't forget "words with friends" and "triple entendre"
Hey Rene...I have a folder called "vidz" in my Dropbox app too... It's for my PORN!!
here too lol
mapquest mobile with free voice navigation
For navigation, Waze is garbage. It will not let you deviate from it's chosen route, insisting on u-turns and backtracking of 20 miles or more to get you back to where it wants you to go instead of choosing the best route from where you are at the time.
Not necessarily, if you continue proceeding in the direction you mean to head, it'll reroute you based on where you are and where you want to go. At least it has for me, and I often reroute myself.
Boy, the hype surrounding TweetBot is crazy. Probably the ugliest, biggest pain in the ass Twitter client that I own. And I own a LOT.
weird - it's my favorite twitter app and I also own a lot...
Wow. Either you're just hating on the Tweetbot praise, or you're missing a trick.
Tweetbot, has top drawer performance, aesthetics and features.
Surely your confusing it with TwitBird or something?
Boy, the hype surrounding TweetBot is crazy. Probably the ugliest, biggest pain in the ass Twitter client that I own. And I own a LOT.
LogMeIn, QuickScan Barcode Scanner Pro, Sky Go, TuneinRadio, Skype, Translator, First Aid App,

So many useful apps for my iPhone 4S, saved.

Motorcycle chase leads to arrestJuly 22,2013Motorcycle chase leads to arrest
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A motorcyclist who led police on a pursuit through downtown White River Junction on Saturday afternoon was arrested after he turned onto a dead-end street behind St. Anthonys Catholic church, police said.
Evan Marsh, whose age and hometown were not immediately available, ended up dumping his motorcycle on the lawn of house right at the end of Maplewood Terrace and surrendering without incident, police said.
Hartford Police Officer Eric Clifford first tried to pull Marsh over for a minor traffic infraction at the top of Schoolhouse Hill on Route 5 near Hartford High School.
But he said Marsh led him on a chase that saw Marsh jump over the median in the middle of Urban Bridge, which spans the White River, in an effort to lose the pursuing cruiser.
As a number of other Hartford officers began converging on the area, Clifford said, Marsh wound his way through the downtown with residents and bystanders on sidewalks pointing out to police which way the motorcycle had gone.
Marsh was arrested and processed for attempting to elude police.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

As of Thursday, December 1, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
We strive to build things that last, that endure through all the times and seasons that can sustain, or ravage, life.
No small part of factoring in a stable structure -- be that structure one of stone, or of flesh and spirit, such as a marriage -- is its foundation. If the foundations of our lives and buildings are as strong and as hard as rock, we then can have confidence that what we do or make will last a long time.
History reveals our fear of having things and relationships collapse. We do what we can to make all that we are and build strong and lasting, giving us the secure sense of a sturdy placement in this world.
As a species, we have built millions of walls, dams, magnificent cities, great ships, powerful weaponry and golden rings. These and more testify to our hope of making things last and keeping out anything that poses a threat to life and keeping in what is perceived of benefit to our survival.
I wonder if beneath it all, what we are dealing with is our inability overcome, to conquer, human weakness. Not just human weakness, but the inherent weakness that is built into the very fabric of being that confronts us and challenges us to create something that is stronger, something that can overcome and banish forever this death that eventually brings low our bodies, our buildings, our relationships.
All that we know and have is destined to succumb to its inborn weakness.
I was thinking about this recently, as I pondered the season of Advent. Generations have turned to a belief in a strong and powerful God, one who manifests Himself in power, might and glory and who is stronger than whatever we can imagine.
It is this God who will promise and provide a sure and lasting foundation. We can lean on Him, base our lives and losses on him. It is He who will make all things new, make things last forever.
Whereas, I believe and hope that the God who promises an abundance of foundational material is true, and true to his promises, I am given reason to hope for something different at this time of the year.
It is through the opening in human nature -- the yes of a woman to make vulnerable her body to the desires of God -- that we can learn to trust in weak and mortal foundations.
God came to Mary and was born from her. Though we struggle to rid ourselves of weakness (and in the process have little patience with the weakness of those around us), it seems that God made weakness the point of entry into life, into history. Mary said yes, and from that moment everything and everyone is different, everlasting, imbued with the very life of God.
We do not always see it this way. Maybe the saints do, and some of our best poets. We are too busy trying to perfect things, to realize with our crafts and talents the eternal upgrade to all that we are and have. It will never happen. Things are not made to last.
Only God lasts. This season is the time of year when we can take the time to look at ourselves and our neighbors and learn from what is weak in us, and worthy of love. God loves weakness. He himself was born from it. It was and is the condition of His arrival among us.
Father James Stephen (Jeff) Behrens, O.C.S.O., serves at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, 2625 Ga. Highway 212 S.W., Conyers. His email address is email@example.com.

4204 28th Ave., Minneapolis, MN | Directions 5540644.926632 -93.232405
Sun-Thurs 11am-1am
Fri-Sat 11am-2am
Neighborhoods: Powderhorn, Standish
Fun place – I moved to the area and I've been to busters quite a few times. Nothing beats a nice coffee bender and their $5 breakfast. I always have a good time and the bartenders are always up for a good chat. I just wish they had their beer-cheese soup more often!
Wish Buster's was in my neighborhood – I enjoyed a very good medium well done hamburger and the crispy, skin on, fries helped me with my samples of their fine tap beers. The atmosphere was enhanced by the Twins winning the division. I will have to find a reason to be in the area again.
Buster's needs to see what their softball team cost them. – We showed up with a party of 10, and after checking with the wait staff that we could seat ourselves (as their sign said), we took an empty table on the patio. The waitress came by to see if we needed food menus and said she would be back to take our drink orders. A few minutes later a man (the manager?) came over and made us leave saying that people had been waiting for 15 minutes for the table (which was empty when we arrived). He offered no other explanation, but when the "Busters" softball team gradually began to fill the table, we figured out what was going on. With no apology and rudely being asks to leave after we had already settled in, we did what any hungry patrons would do and went to the Chatterbox Pub, had great food, and tipped well. Buster's management needs to take a look at what their softball team is costing them(!)
Great place for beer but the food is bad – Such a cute place with an amazing beer list. For the first few months the food was very good but each time I went back, the food, and service became worse and worse. Please Buster's, fix the menu and make good food, even if you need to shorten your menu to a few items. Do what you do well or you will fail like so many other location have in the past.
Put quite simply, Buster's is a beer-lovers dream. – In Short
A cozy neighborhood joint in the burgeoning heart of South Minneapolis, Buster's has more ciders, wines and beers than you can shake a swizzle stick at. On any night of the week, Buster's taps are overflowing with more than 20 beers from around the world. As an added bonus, this Brit-pub-inspired bar and restaurant literally has 109 bottles of beer on the wall for hops and ale lovers to choose from. If the beer doesn't make your gut bust, the heaping portions of unique bar food will: Pizzas, salads, soups, burgers and more complement any delicious brew.
This newcomer is big on comfort and small on pretentiousness. Started by three fellows who wanted to open a neighborhood place with good food and a vast beer selection, this spot hits the mark with re – In Short
Having a few beers at Busters is like taking a trip around the world. With 22 taps dispensing some of the worlds best brew, connoisseurs of barley pop have a found a friend in Busters. But there is more than beer here. Check out the menu for a wide variety of salads, sandwiches and pizza. The pan-fried half chicken dinner is reminiscent of what mom used to make before she found out dad's cholesterol was too high.

"You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction". -George Horace Lorimer
I saw this quote last night (in the midst of my I can't believe it's Sunday night already blues) and it inspired me to get up on the right side of the bed this morning. Today I'm pumped up to teach a kick butt stroller aerobics class (on the agenda: bicep curls, sprints, upright rows, step-ups, tricep extensions, and more) and to cross off all the items on my "to do" list. Hope these words motivate you to move today too! Happy MondayJ

Healthy design and creative safety for architectsButler and Young Consultants' approach to the application of health and safety in construction reflects the current thinking of the HSE and RIBA. In this seminar, we look to see how this is put into practice using case studies. Examples of projects completed, or in progression, will highlight how good practice of Design Risk Management meets the requirements of specific legislation without being bogged down in the detail. NPPF and planning approvalThe UK Government's new planning reforms (National Planning Policy Framework or NPPF) have resulted in the biggest and fastest changes to the planning system in 50 years. These reforms will result in a presumption in favour of sustainable development and present a huge opportunity for commercial developers and house builders, as long as they are able to demonstrate the sustainable credentials of a scheme and a willingness to engage with local neighbourhoods at the planning stage. Pros and cons of low carbon technologiesThis seminar will provide an up to date impartial look at the different low carbon technologies available for residential and small scale commercial projects analysing the pros and cons of each. We will look at the following technologies and how they work, their size and application: renewable electricity (PV, wind, hydro), renewable heat (solar thermal, heat pumps, biomass) and combined heat and power (anaerobic digestion and steam CHP).
